Ingredients
Boba Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup tapioca balls
Taro Milk Tea Ingredients
- ½ cup water, hot
- 1 tablespoon Jasmine Green Tea
- 1/2 oat milk
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried taro
- 1 ½ cup ice
Instructions
- Make The Boba: Add two cups of water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Scoop tapioca bubbles into the water and boil until the pearls float to the top. (This usually takes about 4-5 minutes.) (If you don’t have quick-cooking tapioca pearls, follow your package directions.) Scoop floating boba into a metal mesh strainer and rinse with cool water. (If you are making the hot version, no need to rinse.)
- Taro Tea Instructions: Heat water in a teapot or electric tea kettle to 175°F or 79°C. Scoop loose-leaf jasmine tea into a tea infuser. Pour hot water over the tea and let steep for 4 minutes.
- Remove tea. Add taro root powder to freshly brewed tea and stir thoroughly.
- Assemble The Milk Tea: Scoop the boba into a serving glass. Add ice on top of the tapioca pearls. Pour oat milk in next, followed by the taro tea mixture. Finally, stir and enjoy with a reusable boba straw.
